What does it mean to be a gearhead, a mechanic, or a wrencher? It usually means you’re into disassembling things to see how they work, and then reassembling them again. I know this was the case for me at an early age. I enjoyed tearing things apart–household items like radios, toasters (sorry mom), clocks and [...]

As the racing season is winding down this fall, it can be difficult to go cold-turkey on RC racing. For those of you who still have the racing itch and want to read a good book (you know…reading…books…they’re like magazines, only bigger) and watch a good movie, I have two suggestions for you. Both of [...]

I’ve recently resumed another pastime of mine, riding bikes, as a healthy and fun alternative to racing RC cars. The bike in question is a Redline road bike, and thanks to the city of Santa Clarita where I live, I have miles and miles of dedicated biking paths available to me. I’m certainly not the [...]

With waterproof Traxxas vehicles like the Slash, a rainy day will never stop you from getting your RC fix. But what should you do after you’ve finished running in wet conditions? Just toss the truck into [...]

So I promised an update on the Tekin 4-pole motor that I blogged & video-blogged about last week. The amount of traffic this new Tekin motor generated on our site was impressive, by the way. It surprised even me, and I knew this motor would be hot. I installed the 4600kV Tekin motor in my [...]

I jumped into R/C back in 1987, when mechanical speed controllers and hard rubber tires were all the rage. Since then, I’ve experienced R/C in almost every state in the USA. I've built and raced every type of RC vehicle created, and traveled throughout the country (and world) to attend and cover more R/C events than I can remember. But what a fun ride it's been! I'm fortunate to live in Southern California, and I take advantage of my location by enjoying R/C outdoors year ‘round. Club racing is the future for R/C growth, and I’m always looking to bring new people into the hobby, whether it’s through backyard bashing or organized racing.
